There are multiple ways to do this. Use the references below if needed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-p5wq42wm.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D)Create a Measurement Set (MSET). - Scroll to the Measurement Set section on the Circuit Details page and generate a WorkPack to be used during the inspection. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-q2tbpoku.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D)When the MSET is created, generate a workpack. ### Inspect and enter WT Data To do the Inspection and enter the Wall Thickness (WT) data for the Circuit: *At the NID of the Corrosion Schedule* - An NDE Technician should now use the WorkPack to take the WT measurements and enter the data. - If the data was not entered directly in IMS, first import the MSET. - Save and Calculate the MSET. ![A screenshot of a cell phone Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-an10fi5o.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D)Save and Calculate the MSET. - When done, the MSET status should show “Completed”. ### Analyze and Document Results To analyze the data and document the results: - IMS will automatically analyze the data and calculate a CR. - You will be directed to [S-IDAP](/v414/docs/pei-sidap-overview) where you can further analyze the data (e.g., are anomalies in the data, growth errors, high CRs, low RLs, etc.). You can also navigate to S-IDAP, by clicking the *S-IDAP* button. ![A screenshot of a cell phone Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-c52i01lh.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D)You can navigate to S-IDAP with the S-IDAP button.  - On the Circuit Details page, go to the Calc Summary section to final review the data. ![A screenshot of a social media post Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-myr5ycek.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D)Review the Calc Summary data.  - Update the S-RBI Analysis data: - Go to the S-RBI Analysis, select the applicable Component/DM. - Update the **Remnant Life** tab (RCA, SCR) – see [Step 6](/v414/docs/software-step-6). - Update the **Criticality Assessment** tab (StF) – see [Step 7](/v414/docs/software-step-7). - Update the **Confidence** tab – see [Step 10](/v414/docs/software-step-10), and any other applicable data. NoteThis will update the IF and thus influence the NID Calculation in the Circuit. - Go back to the Calc Summary section of the Circuit and click the *calculate* button to calculate the NID. - Click **Final Approve** – to create an inspection event for the MSET. - The Corrosion Schedule of the Circuit will be credited and a new NID will be set. Also, if the Circuit is linked to an RBI Component (see [Relationship between CLs, Components and Circuits](/v414/docs/relationship-between-cls-components-and-circuits)), the Calc Summary will automatically be applied in the RBI Analysis **Inspection History** tab, to update the RBI LID – see [Step 5](/v414/docs/software-step-5). - Go to the S-RBI Assessment and ensure that the most recent data is included, e.g., LID and other findings influencing the Confidence or StF. The RBI status should show “Completed, Implemented”. NoteMSETs can combine multiple Circuits. Thus, most of above can also be done in bulk for multiple Circuits. For more information see [PEI Corrosion Calculations and Calc Summary](/v414/docs/pei-corrosion-calcs-overview), [Managing Measurement Sets](/v414/docs/managing-measurement-sets) and [PEI Trending and Corrosion Analysis](/v414/docs/pei-sidap-overview). ## Inspection Schedule: Execute, Analyze and Document Perform an Inspection and record the find in an ECH: - Do the inspection according to the applicable Schedule Scope (make sure the applicable Component/DM is included in this Schedule’s Scope); - Create an [ECH](/v414/docs/step-a-creating-echs) and credit the applicable Schedule in the ECH. - Record the inspection in the ECH Plan Codes. - Depending on conditions found (i.e., Barrier status), create [CAIR(s)](/v414/docs/defining-cairs). - When done, **Approve** the ECH (see [Approving ECHs](/v414/docs/approving-echs)). Note: Before you Approve the ECH a warning shows, telling you that the RBI Analysis status will be overwritten; ![A screenshot of a cell phone Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-8lkx9vvn.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D)Before the ECH is Approved you are warned that the RBI Analysis status will be overwritten.  - Important for S-RBI: When the ECH is Approved, the ECH will automatically be Applied in the RBI Analysis **Inspection History** tab to update the RBI LID – see [Step 5](/v414/docs/software-step-5). NoteFor this to happen the RBI Component/DM must be included in the credited Schedule’s Scope. The RBI Component/DM status will change to “Review new data”.![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-c19eb427.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D) - Go to the S-RBI Assessment and ensure that the most recent data is included, e.g., LID and other findings influencing the StF ([Step 7](/v414/docs/step-7-determine-susceptibility-to-failure-stf-1)) and Confidence ([Step 10](/v414/docs/step-10-assess-the-confidence-1)) . If needed, the status can be changed manually to “Completed, Implemented” (see [Step 11](/v414/docs/software-step-11)). For more information see [PEI Condition History (ECH)](/v414/docs/echoverview) and [PEI Schedules](/v414/docs/schedules-overview). ## Review the Barrier Status Indicators To Review the Barrier statuses see [Reviewing Barrier Statuses in the Software](/v414/docs/reviewing-barrier-statuses-in-the-software). Remember to also use the **CMF** Main Screen (Grid list) and the [CMF Modernized Dashboard](/v414/docs/cmf-modernized-dashboard). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e492a0e0-a4ba-4aca-8fc6-76b95f91fdf3/Images/Documentation/software-step-13-image-d1bko3tj.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T12%3A44%3A56Z&se=2026-10-28T13%3A44%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=kGCFDPU1r8CMImnTYwytc2Jbg2AabOtA832gUoFa960%3D)The CMF Modernized Dashboard must be reviewed. Risk rank (according to the S-RBI results) all absent and partly absent (compromised) Barriers (Red and Amber) and ensure that CAIRs or other mitigating actions are in place and that the risk of these Barriers are known. This determines how the Barriers will be maintained ([Step 14](/v414/docs/step-14-maintain-the-barriers-1)).
